Feature you think should be (removed/changed): Police Duty trainning

Why should it be (removed/changed): The training is very easy and you can pass no matters how many mistakes you have done. As it was said above you should have a passport and license to be able to become a FULL Officer which would receive more equipment and the ability to /su. Once you get a passport you will get more ammo and the ability to /su. I also think that the training should ask more questions about regulations, protocols and police codes.

If changed, what direct changes would you like seen?: +RP | - Troll

Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: Hooker job.

Why do you consider it "missing"?: Because it's not available anymore.

Was this in RS4?: Yes.

Why should it be added?: Because I think we have nothing to lose if we have one more scripted job added, and it was a really fun and enjoyable job with many RP opportunities.

[Teddy]

Thanks for the submissions, I've read all of them and some bring up some pretty good points. Feel free to continue submitting.

[Tanner Gulucan]

Feature you think should be (removed/changed): Police Duty

Why should it be (removed/changed): It should be changed due of unorganized newbie players can be able to abuse the duty easliy , it should be more organized such as any mafia in the community or something else people should get serious about it.

If changed, what direct changes would you like seen?: Much more organized roleplays , team works and cop trainings with learning full knowledge how to play as a cop with organize.

Feature you think should be (removed/changed): Police jurisdiction

Why should it be (removed/changed): Removed

If changed, what direct changes would you like seen?: I belive it possess no point and that has been proven by the few months that RS5 has been running trough, a lot of groups and higher ranks possess a way out of it and in a sense it limits the minority of the police force and with this sentence I don't mean that SAPD is wrong by making ways out, but rather that nobody should be limited in anyway where he wishes to patrol and especially shouldn't be TPed around based on jurisdiction. I belive the jurisdiction system created more chaos then an actual order within the police force and it limits the ability of SAPD to organise itself.

I belive this was one of the ideas that Gandalf was willing to reverse, if they were seen as a failure and I am pretty certain he mentioned in it a meeting a little bit before RS5 came out, present people there were scripting team, PD Supervisor Paul, ARPD Commissioner CBF and myself.


Feature you think should be (removed/changed): Drug system

Why should it be (removed/changed): Changed

If changed, what direct changes would you like seen?: I belive that the new system of RS5 is certainly a step in the right direction, but there is still elements missing, the drugs are still only token for money, but I think the drugs should have somekind of advantage/disadvantage, so it creates the difference between players < dealers < distributors < drug lords, so far there is only drug lords and they are the people that get all the drugs people gather up and sell them to a automated system, which makes it purely money token.

I belive the drugs should get the ability to boost a certain element of the players, but then in same time decrease it heavly and the effect should be randomized, so it can't be abused, of course I don't know your scripting options, but I will give few examples:

- Increase the health with 20% more of your current health, but then decrease it by 30/40% from the health you possed after you took drugs, so its way heavier effect.
- Increase your hit strength by 20% and then decrease it heavly after the effect runs out.
- Increase the running speed of a player by 20% and then decrease it to half of the normal speed after effect runs out.
- Increase vision sight of a player by 20% and then decrease it to half after effects run out.
... etc ...

As well the effects of the drugs should be in a sense unpredictable, like they can be floating numbers, not set 20% more and later half off, but it can be worse effect latter then it gave you or the other way around.


Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: Non-lethal bullets and there was previously a topic for it, it was neither denied nor accepted, so I am unaware of its status, but the majority of people agreed upon the idea -  http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=97619.msg1559222#msg1559222.

Note: I belive they should be capable to carry only limited amount of around 10 rubber bullets at time.

Why do you consider it "missing"?: It gives the ability of an officer to handled suspects with non lethal force

Was this in RS4?: No

Why should it be added?: Because it will allow the officers to take care of suspects, without being forced to use their lethal weapons and and as well SAPD regulation can be created to prohibit the officers of being able to shoot unarmed suspect, before being able to take them down with atleast one of the rubber bullets. Gives the unarmed players more of a chance to escape, if the cops are bad shots and in same time gives them a chance to surrender, before facing final ultimatum.

Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: /hduty command.

Why do you consider it "missing"?: Because it does not exist anymore.

Was this in RS4?: Yes.

Why should it be added?: Simply because it helps a lot people who are interested in intrducint new players to the server. It's a very useful command which should not be missing from RS5 in my opinion.

[[NP]Monte Montague]

Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: ASL

Why do you consider it "missing"?: It was in RS4. It was used by CG and other pilots for seeing how how they are flying.

Was this in RS4?: Yes...

Why should it be added?: So people can roleplay with aTC, CG, generaly know they're flying above the trees


Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: /r for taxi drivers

Why do you consider it "missing"?: because it is

Was this in RS4?: yes

Why should it be added?: /r for Taxi drivers, Mechanics, what not should be added, just for the sake of communication and enhanced roleplay. Also it'd be good to do /em2 So  the mechanics and Taxis can send 1 way messages to the police or EMS etc (without seeing /e constantly)




Feature missing:   Doctors Skin on Medic duty
Why do I think its missing? : Simple, It was in RS4 now it's not in Rs5. It was good roleplay skin and I could be a doctor. Me and Marius_Laru and otehrs used it to roelplay a doctor not a medic.

Was it in RS4?: Yes

why should it be addeD?: because it was good skin for roleplaying with. PLEASE ADD IT THANKS

[Seskom]

Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: Pay'n'Spray

Why do you consider it "missing"?: Well-... It's blocked and it cannot be used

Was this in RS4?: Because Argonath has always been an simple roleplay server and has never focused on RL:RP as people call it, even the owners made the idea of RL:RP in Argo sound ridiculus, now it's forced roleplay when there's no mechanics around

Why should it be added?: Script will be abused because most of time it will not promote roleplay, but will do oposite of that. People will get their friends to go on duty to repair their vehicles and another 10 guys will fly to the mechanic to fix their car without one /me command used. Whole system will be robotic and forced upon players which will make it unreliable and pretty much hated. I spent 10 minutes in server and that was the thing that made me leave, and no I was not a suspect or driving wrecklessly, it just puts limits on roleplay when there's no mechanics and it sucks.

[Spike.]

Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: Police Dispatch

Why do you consider it "missing"?: It was removed

Was this in RS4?: Yes

Why should it be added?: For more RP possibilities, a dispatch should be added in every PD


Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: Police Helicopters in all the Police Departments

Why do you consider it "missing"?: Because currently there is only 3 Helicopters which 2 are in the county side.

Was this in RS4?: Yes

Why should it be added?: For easier access to Air Support


Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: Access to the roof of the PD's

Why do you consider it "missing"?: You can't access LSPD or LVPD roof

Was this in RS4?: Yea

Why should it be added?: So we don't have to park helicopters on the street

[Jeremy.]

Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: /clearcar

Why do you consider it "missing"?: It's a shame that you're not capable of removing the tuning components from your vehicle, back in RS4 you used to receive at least a certain amount of cash when removing them.

Was this in RS4?: Yes.

Why should it be added?: So we don't have to sell our vehicles for the tuning items or replace them with extra cash which is just ridiculous.

[Spike.]

Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: /rentroom (in a hotel)

Why do you consider it "missing"?: Hotels are useless atm

Was this in RS4?: Yes

Why should it be added?: Not everyone can afford for a house


Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: /load & /store

Why do you consider it "missing"?: We can't save weapons or skins atm

Was this in RS4?: Yes

Why should it be added?: So weapon dealers can do more business + don't lose everything if killed.

[Seskom]

Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: /Use

Why do you consider it "missing"?: The command no longer exists

Was this in RS4?: Yeap, really useful for roleplay, got beer bottles and stuff.

Why should it be added?: Will improve roleplay and give more additional items such as cigars, beer bottles and so on.


Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: TAB

Why do you consider it "missing"?: It no longer works

Was this in RS4?: Yes

Why should it be added?: /stopanim is not working properly on all kind of anims and requires to be used multiple times in order to work, sometimes you have to over apply anim. Also interior bugs still exist and you can find yourself falling from sky with no way to save yourself.


Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: PaynSpray

Why do you consider it "missing"?: Because It's blocked

Was this in RS4?:Yeap.

Why should it be added?: Although mechanic script is pretty awsome it does not improve roleplay. People just run up to you and offer /repair to get the 2k bonus. Another opinion would be to make proper roleplay garage sets around the map where mechanics could repair the vehicles and only repair the ones on the street while rolling around in a towtruck. This would avoid people racing around in infernus n bike and add more roleplay side to it.


Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: /taxi

Why do you consider it "missing"?: The command no longer exists

Was this in RS4?: Yes

Why should it be added?: Since there's no way to call a taxi now, another opinion would be to add a cretain taxi number to phone so you could call for example 999 and only taxi drivers would see the call.


Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: Spraycan in ammunation

Why do you consider it "missing"?:It is no longer available

Was this in RS4?: Yes

Why should it be added?: Improves roleplay


Feature you think should be changed: healing /buy

Why should it be changed: it always asks to enter an amount, but the amount can never be anything else then 1, otherwise script will say you can buy only 1 of those

If changed, what direct changes would you like seen?: Would be better if it goes back to just /buy burger and so on.


Feature you think should be changed: /idle commands

Why should it be changed: They're bugged and keep nudging your character to change position resulting you to move constantly.

If changed, what direct changes would you like seen?: Fixing the anim so your character woudln't move while using the anim.


Feature you think should be changed: /tune

Why should it be changed: Currently you just go to a car dealer and /tune, it would be better to get linked with mechanic system so mechanics would have more work.

If changed, what direct changes would you like seen?: Mechanic would have to be near the vehicle while /tune is preformed, creates more ways to get money for mechanics.


Feature you think should be (removed/changed): Fireman system.

Why should it be (removed/changed): Current system results firemen sticking around firedepartment AFK-ing and doing nothing.

If changed, what direct changes would you like seen?: Add another alarm to firemans so they could move around and roleplay. Currently nobody is informing new players of fires if there even is one and they need to find it out themselves, if the pager would broadcast it over the emergency radio to PD, FD and EMS it would be alot better in my opinion.


Feature you think should be changed: /trunk, /hood

Why should it be (removed/changed): You cannot open the trunk from behind the vehicle, you have to enter it.

If changed, what direct changes would you like seen?: /trunk and /hood should work while you're behind or infront of the vehicle aswell, like it used to.


Feature you consider "missing" from RS5:Transfeder tuning

Why do you consider it "missing"?:It's blocked

Was this in RS4?:Yes

Why should it be added?: There's currently no way to /tune any vehicles you do NOT own. I can't even change colours of a vehicle I do not own which is pretty much limiting my options to see a vehicle in a cretain way before deciding if I want to purchase it or not, also state vehicles cannot be modified in any way.

[LoHi]

Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: Pay N Spray

Why do you consider it "missing"?: Blocked

Was this in RS4?: Yes.

Why should it be added?: I hate paying to repair visual damage. If possible, I would like PNS to repair ONLY visual damage, so mechanics still have a clear purpose. Expanding on this, have cars have lower hp if they are blown up (restore it to normal after a few minutes if they are not entered).

[Whiteman]

Feature you consider "missing" from RS5: /dice

Why do you consider it "missing"?: Cause it disabled many roleplaying scenarios in both gang rp, mafia rp and general rp aswell.

Was this in RS4?: Yes

Why should it be added?: It widens the possibilities in different RP scenarios and helps to create new roleplay opportunities for players either from the gang/mafia/business sections.

[Teddy]

I have taken the feedback on the status of mechanics and pay'n spray and developed an idea which should satisfy. Will wait for HQs feedback on the suggestion.
